What If . . .

I told you there was a collection of books written by wise men and women who have worked very hard to investigate, research and describe the ways to transform our lives into ones of effectiveness, excellence and fulfillment?

There is. I have one on my bookshelves. I have collected them over the years and reading and contemplating them has enriched my life immeasurably. I have learned, and grown, a great deal from working to apply the wisdom and practices the authors have shared with me.

A “success library,” as Jim Rohn calls it, is vital to an excellent life. I recommend you begin to build yours today (if you haven’t already). There is something powerful about the presence of a physical book, at least for me. I am grateful for and enjoy my books — both in the reading and the having.

    So many people have heard the old saw “practice makes perfect.” It’s wrong. Just. Plain. Wrong.
